In the Market with Janet Parshall

We’d love your thoughts on the topics we discussed this week on In the Market! We began the week talking to a preacher’s daughter and her quest to find answers to the universal questions of identity and belief. We then learned about some misconceptions regarding the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts. An Olympic runner joined us mid-week to share her story of challenges and triumphs. Finally, we learned why friendship is one of the keys to a full life and the greatest gift we can give to each other. Give us a call with your response!

 

 

Call us today as we reflect on this week’s topics! We began with a thought provoking conversation with our Scottish pastor and were challenged to think critically and biblically on various topics. We heard the latest on some social science experiments that are attempting to redefine our military. Then, we heard from one college president who said that a university is not a day care center. Next, we explored the big picture of what God has revealed about heaven and hell and life after death. Finally, we explained why Christianity is still the most compelling explanation for life, the universe and everything. Call us with your thoughts!

 

Born out of Christian radio discussions in the U.K., our guest joins us today to reflect on conversations he has had with Richard Dawkins, Derren Brown and many more.  He will explains why he still finds Christianity the most compelling explanation for life, the universe and everything. And why, regardless of belief or background, we should all welcome the conversation.

The Digital Age is all about change, but the need for true friendship never changes.  You are designed for real engagement with others – for affirmation that goes beyond a simple "like" on social media, for connection over meals, for hope and excitement about the future. Above all, you need to be known and accepted for who you are. But how do you find and maintain this kind of friendship in a fluid and frenetic culture?   Join us for a conversation designed to offer inspiration and proven practices to build relationships through personal storytelling and affirmation. Learn why friendship is one of the keys to a full life and the greatest gift we can give to each other.

Today we hear from an Olympic runner who takes us from her first competition as a seven-year-old to the challenges and triumphs of becoming one of the most decorated female athletes in the world. Her story will inspire you to run your best race, knowing that God is by your side. No matter where you are on the track, her story will give you renewed strength to live the victorious life God created you for.

Throughout the ages, every culture has been full of explanations which try to make the uncertainty and uneasiness of death and eternity more palatable—and the 21st century is no different. Today, our guest will guide listeners through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, exploring the big picture of what God has revealed about heaven and hell and life after death. In systematically tracing the story of this great unknown, from when Adam and Eve ate the fruit, to the great culmination of Christ's victory over death, you will learn the magnificence of the love of God revealed in His Son.

Leadership within any viable group must not only be developed, it must be transferable to sustain continued success. In many secular and sacred ventures, leadership is prized as power; something to be earned and coveted. Today we discover how to be the leaders God wants us to be. We will learn about misconceptions regarding the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts.  Join us with your questions as we use this hour to develop ‘spiritual muscle.’

Our military remains under attack from within.  Join us to hear the latest on some social science experiments that are attempting to redefine our fighting forces.  Then, who would have thought that refusing to challenge the thoughts of young people on America’s storied and complicated past, on issues with police, on any subject of historical importance—would lead to rampant disregard for truth and learning? Hear from one college president who says that a university is not a day care center.

Time for another thought provoking conversation with our Scottish Pastor.  Be prepared to think critically and discern biblically as we are challenged on some of the great topics of the day.

What happens when you take a wide-eyed preacher's daughter from Texas "across the pond" to the multicultural lawns of Oxford? With winsome honesty, our guest relives the year she spent navigating the Thames river, romantic relationships, the university's atheist society, and a coffee-less Lent---and searched for answers to the universal questions of identity and belief.
